SUBURBAN TRAINS
A QUESTION AND A REPLY.
Recently Mt. R. A. Wright, M.P., wrote to the Minister of Railways suggesting that in order to relievo congestion in Wellington City, the Government should promote legislation removing the restriction imposed by Section 3 cf the Hutt Railway and Road Improvement Act, 1905. He pointed out that this section prevented the city tramway system being extended alosg the Hutt Road. A tramway to Petone would enable huudreds of people to leave the congested area of the city. Quick and cheap transit to the suburbs was the tidy method of solving the housing problem. The Minister of Railways has replied that he cannot find any statutory _rostrictions on tramway extension to Wellington suburbs, with the ixception of that applying to the Hutt Road.
